Its looks like we have set another ATH for this year: Bitcoin price surpassed its previous all-time high to achieve $1,377 across major Bitcoin exchanges in Japan and the US, including Bitstamp and Bitflyer. Such analysts as BKCM CEO Brian Kelly attribute the recent upward trend of Bitcoin price to the re-examination of the Winklevoss twins’ Bitcoin ETF COIN proposal. While Kelly emphasized that the probability of the US Securities Exchange Commission approving a Bitcoin ETF in the near future is quite low, investors are quite optimistic in regard to the situation. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-sets-new-all-time-high-at-1377-main-factors

The biggest problem I can see currently, is that the price of bitcoin is really high when the blockchain is still not really ready for something like that. We had many incidents when there was more than 50,000 unconfirmed transaction and the network was simply too slow in confirming them. It is a very vunerable thing, because making such a big traffic on the network may result that people will stop using bitcoin: you are not going to use the service for sending money, when you have to wait for a week to get your transaction done, right?

For the kind of money that's making the price go up, it's irrelevant. This just means that whales (and people with a reasonable investment in Bitcoin) will get their transactions through first, which is fine for the way that Bitcoin's purpose is headed.

It's not an ATH until Bitstamp hits it in my opinion. BTC-E hit a new ATH ($1315), it almost hit a new ATH on Bitstamp but the damn peak at the ETF of $1350 made it miss it by 2 dollars. I think we are going to see a higher price as the bitfinex USDT fear gets cleared out. I think the fear is overblown. If you factor in the actual billions that have came out within the ecosystem, you'll realize this rise is legit and not a side effect of USDT.

Speculators are going ape shit on a rally. Remember in 2010-11 when speculators blew gold up from $1,050 to over $1,900, then it went right back down to $1,050? When you look at the Bitcoin price think gold 2.0.

Bitcoin prices can not be separated from good/bad news which leads to speculation, recent increase may caused by legalization of bitcoin in Japan and SEC order to review ETF rejection. But ATH means another crash is imminent after ETF get rejected again or if big whales start to cash out their investment. Whatever it is, we need more loyal adopters which support bitcoin as real digital currency or at least precious commodity to save for long term.

Whatever were this goes, I'll just enjoy the moment for reaching this all time high for bitcoin. We all now what will happen next if we see this kind of price, but I will just keep it myself coz I don't want to jinx it right now. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) 2017 is truly the year for bitcoin and the crypto-currency world.

ETF news has always some influence. Investors are pleased that SEC is giving ETF another shot so soon. It might mean something. Do you remember how BTC price was skyrocketing the day before previous 'final date' of Coin ETF evaluation? We have similar situation now.

Remember that guy who bought in state debt'n'liabilities in south amerika.

Do you remember how BTC price was skyrocketing the day before previous 'final date' of Coin ETF evaluation? We have similar situation now. Looks like it could have influence the price of bitcoin right now. I remember the Coin ETF back in March and we have this kind of situation before. In anticipating of the ETF approval?(rejection) the price of bitcoin rose to set ATH that time. Maybe we are also having the same effect. But excuse my ignorance, I don't know when will the SEC release their decision for their second review?

Bitcoin has not made a real new ATH until Bitstamp price breaks $1350 to confirm.

I don't know if that matters, I doubt anyone keeps up with that. No one expects the SEC to change their mind which makes it irrelevent to pay attention to. Billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Novogratz coming out in support of bitcoin could be the real reasons for the ATH.

Not sure about that, gold has been around & been traded for centuries. Bitcoin is relatively new & has a far, far higher potential for huge growth than gold.

number of people quoting bitcoin price versus dollar from poloniex has reached an ATH and i don't even know why! because if any of you who are quoting bitcoin price from poloniex have ever traded in that exchange or bothered to pay a little more attention to details you would have noticed it is not dollar value that you are quoting!

Not sure about that, gold has been around & been traded for centuries. Bitcoin is relatively new & has a far, far higher potential for huge growth than gold. Yeah gold which took years and years to reach such a high position is reached in a short time period by bitcoin. But the market fluctuations were not the same with gold and bitcoin. Even now with this price the market share has dropped to 61% as stated in one of the quote. These need to overcome, which is possible only when the volatility decreases.

For determining ATH just use some unbiased and fully operational exchanges. I would recommend Gemini or BitStamp for USD and Kraken for EURO prices. Bitfinex, Poloniex and top chinese exchanges are not the best source of real price IMO. Just like Mt.Gox wasn't good indicator of ATH in 2013. Using local exchanges as price indicator is not good either, they usually have low trading volume and therefore lag in prices.
